To which I might add:

That blog is bang-on right--CCP seems to forcing on everyone the solo PvE component--in a game whose solo PvE component is for the most part a laughably archaic, un-immersive, gratingly tedious, bag of shite.

Try building a PvE component in your game that's actually fun, immersive, and dynamic--like, first!--before forcing it on people, OK?

Or is what I am beginning to suspect true, that you actually haven't learned anything from the Incarna debacle, and this "turn-around" is just a token gesture to grub back a few more subs before going back to the same old ::Awesome?::

E: In my experience--my "co-main's" corp requires that we try to keep our sec-status above -2.00, as we do hisec merc work and war-decs (don't even get me started!)--being able to rat with mates whilst looking for PvP is what helped make the need to rat tolerable. Solo-chaining belts in null is...grating. Just grating, and nothing will ever change this without completely re-inventing this game's whole PvE component.

The Boy Who Cried Wolf........

Ah, ill add this to my collection of pirate tears.

Learn to recognize tears.

This change means nothing.

I am a pirate.

I shoot what I see.

I steal from anything I can.



I don't want my sec status back.


Let them change the sec status bonus on rats.

I wear my -10 with pride.

I'm with Darius on this one. This is a bad nerf.
While I approve of the tears of the people who use team tactics like this to rebuild sec status en masse on their alts for suicide ganking, the most damaging effect I think is for the non-piraty people, the casual pirates, and the newbies.

These are all people who will want to keep their sec status at least marginally positive, so they can go back to high sec to resupply or do other things they like doing. Teaming up with people to rat up sec status is one way of making this activity more enjoyable, and more effective. With this nerf, anti-pirates will have to spend more time ratting than hunting pirates, casual pirates and general low-sec dwellers like me will also feel this pain, as they too will be forced to choose either to go -10 or spend ages ratting.
Finally, newbies will be more scared to go into low sec now too, because getting back sec status will be much harder.

In all, this is a bad thing. The penalty for piracy was fine before, now it's harshes, yes, but not in a good sense. it means more grinding, which means less time for fun things.

And yes, this is coming from an industrialist. I like my odd little pew pew every now and then too, when I'm bored of hauling stuff, or just want to blow somethign up that is not an NPC.

**** sec status.

This change makes me hate the mechanic even more.

Supported etc.

Well, Incursions just don't sound like a Hell of a lot of fun to me, spamming fits into the chat-channels and hoping you get accepted--eventually--into some elitist carebear ISK-farmer's fleet of bling-barges....I like to do my own thing, on my own time, and my own fault if I get urp-sploded in losec.

And I meant solo'able content, in ships that don't cost ISK 2Bn-plus.

Losec exploration is about the only one that even comes close, at present, and that is most certainly not guaranteed ISK--and even if it was, then it would still not be adding any new ISK into the economy, it would simply be moving ISK that already exists between players when you sell that nice Pithum A-Type Medium Shield-Booster.

With, I might add, an infinitely better-balanced risk<--->reward component.

And those complaints are 100% legitimate:

The Incursion ISK-faucet has finally brought about the inflationary spiral we all feared was coming (did you really think Tier-1 battleships would stay at ca. ISK 45Mn forever with the amount of ISK already in the economy prior to Incursions?) This is what tipped it over, and lo and behold, 45Mn is what battlecruisers now cost, not to mention PLEX going for over half-again to what they were just 5-6 months ago. That's what happens when you fire-hose in an extra 20-30% more ISK into the economy with no commensurate ISK-sinks.

Hey, thanks a **** of a lot, carebears, way to screw over the entire crop of newer/younger players, especially those who may be RL-cash poor, and actually have the temerity to want to PvP in an open-world PvP-centric game, without going perma-blinky!

There's nothing tinfoil-hat about this, it has been proven repeatedly, and your worm's-eye-view ISK-grubbing, and the entitlement-mentality you display regarding it are, frankly, disgusting.

Frigging carebears--every sandbox that ever existed, your type's unthinking parasitism blithely, blindly ruins, and it seems that EVE may be next.

GTFO/FOAD!

Ah this takes me back to the introduction of warp to 0. That, as I recall, was the end of low sec pvp and all the usual suspects emoragequit (at least they claimed to have). Many a carebear slurped on delicious pirate tears that day
